The bikes required a bit of repair before the long ride around the lake--especially after the boys had "tweaked" them the day before.
Aside from everything else, their favorite activities included naps (here just starting a marathon 3 hour one in Verona), the stand-on and squat john in Verona, and of course the girls whom they watched rather quietly through out. I told them that I'd pay for a gondola ride in Venice, but they had to find two girls to take along. Well, there weren't many sixteen year olds available--just lots of college girls and the boys weren't that brave.

 

They took in a little culture, a little religion
Kevin remembered his Mom with some serious shopping
They checked out the Octopus at the market in Venice
And decided on a new summer home for their folks 

There is nothing quite so much fun as being a grandparent--especially when its evident that your kids have learned from your mistakes and produced wonderful people.

Two weeks with Grandson Jason and his friend Jason has been a marvelous treat.

Here in Zermatt, the clouds even gave us beautiful scenery
Of course they couldn't resist sea sawing at 12,000 ft. We should learn to harness all that energy.

Jason and Kevin snow boarded at Zermatt. He's just coming down from several hours worth. Kevin is making a last run.
